Services at East Pier

East Pier Hotel provides services, including wedding ceremonies and receptions on-site. Vanessa Wallis leads the front-of-house team, managing administration, the front desk, and housekeeping. The hotel serves bite-sized treats before dinner and offers a set menu service. Function venues include The Port Room and Breakwater Room, equipped with HD projectors, screens, Wi-Fi, and sound systems.

“What strikes me most is the beachfront location, placing you steps away from Ahuriri's seaside charm. The option for conference spaces capable of hosting up to 600 guests is noteworthy, combined with the convenience of on-site dining that spotlights local seafood, in my opinion, it positions this hotel as a balanced choice.”
